Del Rio said he had not had any conversations with Mark Davis that indicated a firing was possible today. While the possibility was obviously present, it’s fair to say Del Rio was surprised by today’s decision.

Derek Carr: “It hurts. It’s a sucky thing because ... (coaches are) family. Met with Coach Del Rio every Thursday morning since he’s been here.” Been to his events. “We weren’t good enough for him. We have to take ownership as players.”

Derek Carr on Jon Gruden report, HC possibility: “I’m aware of what was said because of how the world works today. ... If he’s our coach, if he’s not, we just lost to the Chargers. ... It’s still pretty fresh.” Learned on update from a teammate’s phone.

Mark Davis statement: “We appreciate Jack’s effort in building the foundation of this team for the future. Thank you to Jack, his wife, Linda, and his daughter, Aubrey, for their important contributions to the Raiders and our local community in Oakland. We wish them all the best"
